3. Do one of the following:
• Select the Configure using DHCPv4 check box to use a DHCP-provided NTP server address.
NOTE: To configure a DHCPv4-provided NTP server, you must first enable DHCPv4 on
the Network Configuration page. For more information, see “Managing network settings”
(page 48).
• Enter NTP server addresses in the Primary NTP server and Secondary NTP server boxes.
You can enter the server addresses by using the server FQDN or IPv4 address.
4. Enter the NTP polling period.
This value, measured in seconds, determines how often the time is synchronized with the NTP
servers. Enter a value of 60 seconds or greater.
5. If you entered a primary and secondary time server, select the server time zone from the Time
zone list.
This setting determines how the iLO CM firmware adjusts UTC time to obtain the local time,
and how it adjusts for Daylight Savings Time (Summer Time). In order for the entries in the
event log and IML to display the correct local time, you must specify the time zone in which
the HP Moonshot System is located.
If you want the iLO CM firmware to use the time the NTP server provides, without adjustment,
use a time zone that does not apply an adjustment to UTC time. In addition, that time zone
must not apply a Daylight Savings Time (Summer Time) adjustment. There are several time
zones that fit this requirement. One example is the Atlantic/Reykjavik time zone, which is
neither east or west of the Prime Meridian, and in which the time does not change in the
spring or fall. If you select the Atlantic/Reykjavik time zone, the iLO CM firmware web pages
and log entries display the exact time provided by the NTP server.
NOTE: Configure the NTP servers to use Coordinated Universal Time (GMT).
